We could not be happier with the results. Mike and his team were fantastic from start to finish. From start to completion they truly listened to how our family wanted to live in the space, were mindful of staying on budget and demonstrated such craftsmanship and attention to detail in the finishings. We appreciated the constant communication with the project manager and designer - ensuring that there were no surprises along the way. We are so grateful to have selected this group of professionals to make sure that our home continues to be a place our family can grow for decades to come. **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much for your kind words! We loved working with you and our team feels grateful to work on your beautiful home. Please let us know if you ever need anything! ### All 56 reviews **★★★★★ — HU-570244438, Sept. 2026** > Wade Design and Construction did a complete remodel and update of our 40 year old master bathroom. The update included a new custom made vanity, linen closet and updated heated tile floor and custom walk-in shower. > Jake, our project manager did an amazing job. The entire project was expertly staged. Jake provided weekly updates and responded instantly to any questions. > The worksmanship was outstanding. All phases of the project were professionally done and completed on time. The entire team was courteous, respected our home, showed up on time and cleaned up any debris. > We highly recommend Wade Design and Construction. **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much for your kind review! We loved working with you and are so happy you love your bathroom. Thank you thank you!!! **★★★★★ — Kelsey Chapman, June 2026** > We recently completed a large addition over our garage with Wade, and we could not be happier with the result. > > This was a significant project for our family, adding a primary suite, bathroom, laundry room, and wet bar, and from the beginning we wanted it to feel like a natural extension of our home. The finished product exceeded our expectations. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and quality of work throughout the space is exactly what we hoped for. > > The biggest reason our experience was so positive was our project manager, Jake. Building a major addition while raising three young children can be stressful, but Jake made the process feel manageable. He was consistently responsive, patient, professional, and solution-oriented. No question was too small, and no concern was ever dismissed. He took the time to listen, communicate clearly, and ensure we felt informed and supported throughout the project. > > What stood out most was how much the team genuinely cared about the outcome. It never felt like we were just another project. They took pride in the work, advocated for quality, and were committed to making sure we were happy with the finished space. That level of care is hard to find and made a tremendous difference in our experience. > > Now that we’ve been living in the addition for over a month, we can confidently say it has transformed how our family uses and enjoys our home. The new spaces are beautiful, functional, and feel like they’ve always belonged here. > > We are incredibly grateful to Jake, Mike, and the entire team for helping bring our vision to life. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering a renovation or addition and would gladly work with them again in the future. **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much for your kind review, Kelsey! Our whole team has truly enjoyed working with you and your family and we are so happy that you're loving your new primary suite. Please let us know if we can ever help you with anything! Thank you again! **★★★★★ — HU-756153032, Nov. 2025** > Local & family owned - 25 + years experience - we worked with Wade to do a total overhaul of our dingy basement and they delivered from start to finish. Our main request was to have constant communication which was given to us. The final result was everything and we have been enjoying our new space on the regular. Thank you! **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much for your kind words! We truly enjoyed working with you and appreciate the opportunity to work on your home. Please let us know if you ever need anything and we hope you love your new basement! **★★★★★ — HU-705425688, Aug. 2025** > I had a great experience with Wade and am very happy with my project. While the whole team is fantastic, I worked most closely with Emily and Jake. They are excellent listeners. They are knowledgeable, thoughtful, creative and just great. Wade made my house a home I love. **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much for your kind review! We loved working with you and feel grateful for the opportunity to work on your home. Please let us know if you ever need anything! **★★★★★ — Nadine Guirl, June 2025** > Wade Design & Construction to the rescue . . . to my great dismay, I discovered a 5-window bow window, wall beneath it, and some basement joists were rotted. Multiple contractors were called -- but Wade won the bid and my trust. They were highly skilled, very professional, thorough, reliable and NICE! It was a challenging project that took multiple weeks of work. It also included replacing inside decorative moldings and millwork and outside copper gutters. During the entire process, I was kept up to date with photos, emails and consistent progress reports. They treated my home with respect and kept it clean and protected throughout the process. The final result is simply excellent! Wade has my gratitude and my 100% unqualified recommendation! **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Nadine, thank you so much for your kind words! We are grateful to work on your home and truly enjoyed working with you. Please let us know if you ever need anything! **★★★★★ — Chad Nitschke, April 2025** > We worked with the Wade team on a fun and unique project that required a lot of detail - finishing a small hidden speakeasy room behind a wall of bookshelves. > > The Wade team knocked it out of the park, exceeding expectations! From the initial design with Cody and helping us figure out a way to meet the look we were looking for while staying in our budget, to Nic ensuring they get every detail in the 6’ x 12’ space looking perfect. We couldn’t be more happy. > > The entire team is a class act, they will be our first call on future projects. I would definitely recommend giving them a call for any home improvement and renovation projects. **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much for your kind words, Chad! Such a fun project. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to work on your home, our team enjoyed working with you! Feel free to let us know if we can ever help with anything. **★★★★★ — mepspinner, Nov. 2024** > We worked with Wade to do a complete demo and redo of our master bath. From start to finish, the work was exceptional. Emily and Michael really listened to what we requested in the planning phase and the outcome was exactly what we wanted. The painters, tilers, etc. were all high quality and very friendly. Zach kept us apprised each week on progress and we always knew what to expect. If there was an issue, it was resolved easily but there weren’t many. And best of all it was finished on time! Highly recommend. **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much for your kind words! Our team truly enjoyed working with you and we appreciate the opportunity to work on your beautiful home :) **★★★★★ — lafond19, Nov. 2024** > We can’t thank the Wade team enough! We had a vision for our basement and they delivered. They addressed our concerns, communicated updates, and found creative ways to make the space perfect for our family. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome! Nic, Jake and Cody are amazing at what they do and were such a great team to work with! We would recommend Wade Design & Construction Inc again and again. Thank you! **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much for your kind review! We loved working with you and truly appreciate the opportunity to work on your home! **★★★★★ — jumpingpoo, Oct. 2024** > I had been wanting to bring laundry to my first floor for several years, but there was no “obvious and easy” place in my home to put it. I talked to many contractors and designers and hadn’t found a solution that wouldn’t have created other issues. Then I talked to Cody who came up with a creative design idea that I hadn’t considered. It was a bit bigger project than I had initially expected, but by moving a wall and relocating a closet we were able to extend an existing bathroom to accommodate the laundry. > > The end result? It looks like it belongs, like it was meant to be this way. It looks great and I have just as much if not more storage space . > > Nic did a great job at managing the build team. I always knew who would be here and when. All the Wade guys and subs were friendly and professional… > > Glad to have this project done but I kinda miss having them around :) **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much for the kind review! We truly appreciate it and are thankful for the opportunity to work on your home. Please let us know if you ever need anything! :) **★★★★★ — Jenny Huizenga, Oct. 2024** > Wade did a beautiful job on a remodel of two bathrooms in our home. Not only was the quality of the work excellent, but their communication is absolutely unparalleled. I’ve never experienced anything close with any previous construction or remodeling project. My wife and I knew exactly what was going to happen day to day, and any concerns that we had (which were few) were addressed professionally and immediately. Thanks again to Mike and Kristin and the entire team! > Would recommend Wade without reservation. **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Hi Jenny, thank you so much for your kind words! We truly appreciate the opportunity to work on your home and enjoyed working with you. Please let us know if you ever need anything from our team. Thank you again! **★★★★★ — HU-306871759, Sept. 2024** > Wade has made our dream kitchen come to life! > > After interviewing a number of different contracting partners we chose Wade based on multiple word of mouth recommendations and their strong focus on quality. We felt supported during all phases of the project t including the design/vision process, preparation, execution and we even keep in touch after the remodel was finished. Wade is full service and will take care of you to ensure you’re getting exactly what you want. > > Wade earned our complete trust as we ran into some unique obstacles based on the age of our home and prior remodel jobs. They somehow turned every obstacle into a smooth part of the project and made us feel protected and cared for throughout the process. Remodels are stressful, but Wade took care of any stress or worry that came our way and did so with grace. This is the type of partner you want to work with. **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much for your kind words! We truly appreciate the opportunity to work on your home. Please let us know if you ever need anything! **★★★★★ — HU-186825797, Jan. 2024** > Wade Design just completed our home addition of an office and mudroom. We are very happy with their work. They took great care to make sure things went as smoothly as possible. As a result the whole process was pretty easy. This was our second project using Wade Design and we would happily use them again. **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you for your kind words! We truly enjoyed working with you and are grateful for the opportunity to work on your home again. **★★★★★ — Teresa Kennedy, May 2023** > We did a kitchen remodel and dining room built in with wet bar. The Wade company was very good from start to finish with their design, communication and most importantly quality! All of the subcontractors from the demo crew to the electrician, cabinet maker, countertops and painter did great work! AND, despite supply chain issues it was completed within the time they projected! We are very happy!! **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much for your kind review! We enjoyed working with you and appreciate the opportunity to work on your home. What a great project! Thanks again. **★★★★★ — HU-486127154, Feb. 2023** > This is a great company to work with. Truly professional! They will communicate with you, keeping you up to date on the project. Their people are skilled professionals and the work quality is exceptional. I highly recommend them. **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We really enjoyed the opportunity to work together with you on your home. Please feel free to reach out for any home questions or adjustments you may need. **★★★★★ — kktaylor925, Jan. 2023** > We have had Wade Design & Construction remodel our home over many years. Every project they have designed for us has met our expectations and more. They listen to our ideas for our living spaces and have great ideas of their own that make or enhance our home more. Their team is wonderful to work with. Projects are planned out to continue in a timely manner. **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We have enjoyed working together with you over many years and projects. It has been great to see the enhancement of your home and daily life with all of the updates you have made to your home. We wish you many enjoyable days in your beautiful home! **★★★★★ — dvreden, Dec. 2022** > From design to project management to completion they were courteous and professional and did an outstanding job completing it as scheduled. **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We really enjoyed designing and building your dream kitchen with you. It was great to see the happiness you have with the final results on the final walkthrough especially as the 3rd project we have done together. We wish you many wonderful gatherings with both family and friends and a much enhanced and organized daily life. **★★★★★ — Kristy Fujii, April 2022** > We received excellent service. From start to finish always professional. They brought our ideas to life. The craftsmanship was top notch. We can not wait to work them again in the future for our next project. I have never had better customer service. They go over and beyond to make sure all aspects are done right. > thank you Mike and Kristin and the Team. I can't wait to collaborate again on our future big project. **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much, Kristy. We have enjoyed working with you on the transformation of your amazing home. We really appreciate all of the kind words, we have shared this with the team. We welcome any project opportunities you may be dreaming of in the future! **★★★★★ — Mimi Hanna, Jan. 2022** > We are literally in the middle of a guest bathroom remodel, and, although we obviously haven't seen the finished product, as yet, I can't imagine that we won't be very happy with it. Mike and Cody drew up what seems like a beautiful design, and Cody and Emily were so helpful in helping me pick out materials. Cody, and Scott (the project manager) have been making sure that all runs smoothly, letting me know who will be coming in, when, and making sure that everything is just as it should be when each contractor has finished their portion > of the job. We've been very impressed with the work of each of the subcontractors, as well as their attention to detail. Scott checks in with me almost daily, and Cody, too, has called and stopped by to answer any questions, and monitor the work progress. We feel very fortunate to be working with Wade Design, and hope they'll be willing to work with us again, as our 32 year old home definitely needs multiple upgrades! **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much, Mimi, for the wonderful review. Team Wade is truly enjoying working with you as well! We are all looking forward to seeing the final results and getting your beautiful bathroom complete. We would be happy to collaborate on any upcoming projects that you may have! Thanks again. **★★★★★ — heidianna22, Nov. 2021** > Mike worked with us through all the phases of our large and somewhat complicated garage addition. He spent a lot of time with us ideating different designs, at various price points, as we tried to find the best solution. He had creative ideas on how to solve design challenges (ie trying to match a new garage to seamlessly match a 1926 Tudor), and suggestions on how to keep costs down. Once the project started, he and his team stayed on schedule and on budget. When COVID delays caused material shortages, he found alternatives that were just as good or even better than the original. His contractors were all very professional and respectful, and did excellent work. The finished garage is just what we wanted! I highly recommend Mike Wade for any project, large and small! **★★★★★ — HU-465275390, Jan. 2021** > As new homeowners, we had never conducted a renovation project before and had many questions. After discussing the project with a number of different firms, we opted to work with Wade Design & Construction. They won us over with their compelling vision for the project, quoted at a competitive price point. With the project having recently been completed, we were thrilled with the outcome. We'd highly recommend Wade Design & Construction and we'd look forward to working with them again in the future! **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much for the nice review. We really enjoyed working with you on your beautiful home. Please let us know if you need any adjustments or have any questions. We would love the opportunity to work with you again in the future. **★★★★★ — HU-725961301, Jan. 2021** > We used Wade Design & Construction to transform two of our existing bedrooms into a new master with a walk in closet and master bath. Our designer, Cody, not only came up with a great design but also did a nice job of walking us through the process and keeping us updated throughout the project. We are very satisfied with the end results and would highly recommend Wade Design & Construction! **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much for taking the time to review our company. We really enjoyed working with you on your beautiful home. Please let us know if you need any adjustments or have any questions. We are happy that you are enjoying your new master bath and bedroom! **★★★★★ — bango23, Dec. 2020** > We had Wade Design & Construction remodel our master bathroom and add an outdoor kitchen. They kept us updated and informed about every aspect of the remodel. We are very happy with the results and highly recommend. We have received numerous compliments on both projects!! **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much for the review. We truly enjoyed working with you on your beautiful home as well. **★★★★★ — HU-799877951, Dec. 2020** > Wade Design & Construction Inc Did a very nice job of remodeling our kitchen. We just love the results. Their workers and foreman are very professional and sought our input. The utility we gained from the renovation is greatly appreciated. We would highly recommend their services to anyone seeking to redo their kitchen. **★★★★★ — Designer View Blinds and Shutters, Dec. 2019** > We are very happy with the remodel work that we had done to our basement. Mike and Kristin had great ideas and kept us well informed from start to the finish of the project. Their clean up crew always did a great job of cleaning up at days end. Top notch work, we would highly recommend the company. **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much for the great review. We really enjoyed working on your home with you. Your selections are beautiful and really put the finishing touches on your new home. Please let us know if there is anything that you need down the road and we will be happy to assist. **★★★★★ — Donna Olsen, April 2019** > When we started our remodel project we were looking for a contractor that was honest, able to finish the project within the timeframe and that the communication would remain timely with the contractors coming and going as well as design team and project manager. We are happy to say that those objectives were met and sometimes exceeded. We had routine visits from the owners, communication was given if there was a delay, area kept clean and electrical and plumbing was completed with local, well known companies that were reliable and professional. > Everyone was a pleasure to deal with and the bath is stunning! > Project cost was as per contract with no surprises. Mike and Kristen were wonderful to work with and we look forward to getting lots of compliments on this project! **★★★★★ — Nancy Slawson, April 2019** > Thank you Wade Design and Construction for my beautiful bathrooms! The process was stress free from the beginning. They were nothing but helpful and concerned that we were happy with every detail. **★★★★★ — Roger Davison, Oct. 2018** > Wade design is a professional family owned business. Mike Wade is very good at looking at a project and helping the home owner see the finished product and offers alternative ideas for more useable space and dramatic results. Cody Wade is following in his father’s ability to see potential in some minor changes/adjustments to a floor plan or design to get the most out of the space available. Kristine does the scheduling and managing the costs. She is very hands on and good at working with homeowners and contractors to coordinate work, costs and schedules. This team is very good at keeping the project on schedule and within budget. I think any consumer will be pleased and satisfied working with Wade Design & Construction **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much for the wonderful review Roger! We have really enjoyed working with you over the years. **★★★★★ — Christine Korjenek, Aug. 2017** > I would give 10 stars if I could! Mike transformed the exterior of our house into something that far exceeded our wildest dreams. He and his team took our 70's ranch and brought it to a modern-day gem. He and his team were prompt, courteous, respectful and extremely professional. **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We really enjoyed and appreciate the opportunity to work with you on your home. It was fun to see the transformation! **★★★★★ — Jennifer Fry, July 2017** > Wade Construction did an amazing job remodeling a master bathroom and hall bathroom for us. We were impressed with their attention to detail, communication and design advice. The bathrooms not only met our criteria and expectations, but far exceeded them. **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you for your thoughtful review. We really appreciated and enjoyed the opportunity to work with you on both of your bathrooms. It was fun to see all of your selections. The final results were wonderful. Please let us know if there is anything you need. We would be happy to come back and make adjustments. **★★★★★ — Fred & Heidi Skinner, March 2017** > Wade Design & Construction did a complete redesign/renovation of our kitchen. Amazing attention to detail and incredibly responsive. They far exceeded all of our expectations and would immediately turn to them if we were to have any additional renovation needs. They are full service, from creating the design to following through in making it exactly as it was planned. > > I was 6 months pregnant when they started our reno which included taking down walls, re-routing HVAC, plumbing and electrical and a complete upgrade. I was so nervous to take on a project during this time, but everything went smooth and they were great at communicating every step of the way. The team is really hands on. They care about what they do and the people they do business with. Project management, subcontractors/partners, and most importantly, the work, is TOP NOTCH. **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Fred and Heidi, thank you for entrusting us to get your kitchen done in time for your new little one! We really enjoyed and appreciated the opportunity to work with both of you on your beautiful home. Please let us know if there is anything that may need adjustment. Take care. **★★★★★ — Nina & Jim Olson, March 2017** > We loved working with Wade Deign & Construction Inc. We hired them to do our kitchen and master bath and we absolutely LOVE the end product! We even have been featured on Kohler's promotional material! The Wades were incredibly responsive to our questions, patient, and easy to work with. Mike designed the kitchen and bathroom of our dreams! We would highly recommend them for your renovation and design needs. **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you so much for the opportunity to work together on your beautiful new home. > We really enjoyed getting to know you both better and seeing your house become your home. **★★★★★ — kmcnarney, Sept. 2016** > We hired Wade Design for a kitchen remodel, which kind of turned into a first floor remodel. We couldn't be happier! They opened up our kitchen and made it much more user friendly for our family of five. Great design ideas that we never would have thought of as well as helpful tips along the way. The cramped entry way was opened up by removing unused closets and they also replaced most of the flooring on our main level. Wade Design was great about staying on schedule and on budget. We were impressed with the schedule and management of all of the different subs that were needed. The subs were all friendly, professional and experienced. It is a bit chaotic to live in your home during this much construction, but Wade did a great job of keeping the job site clean and leaving our home as usable as possible. I am attaching a before and after photo and also a photo of the gorgeous hutch. **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Hi KMcnarney, thank you for the opportunity to work with you in your beautiful home. > We are so proud of the results and that your family is enjoying it. You had such great ideas and you both kept all of us laughing through the process. Please let us know if you need anything adjusted or any advice going forward. Enjoy! **★★★★★ — kktaylor925, Sept. 2016** > We have had Wade Design & Construction do three projects for us over the last ten plus years. With each project, we put together needs, wants and ideas working within a realistic budget. Customer service was excellent. Moving forward with each project was more organized than the one before making the time frame right on. > > Of course, with any project, there may be delays. Communication is key. Also, whatever you are doing yourself, be it picking out flooring, marble, painting, etc... Make sure you are ready to go when they are ready for installation to avoid these delays. Wonderful to work with. > > Tom & Karen Taylor **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Hi Tom and Karen, we have appreciated the opportunity to get to know you over the last ten years working together on your home. We really appreciated the hand written note about your guest compliments on your new hall bath. It has been fun to see your home transform over the years to a great place to gather with family and friends! Please let us know if there are any adjustments or advice you need in the future. **★★★★★ — gkathleen45, Sept. 2016** > We are so happy with WADE Design and Construction. The work they did in our house turned out beautiful. It feels like a brand new home. They were professional, cleaned up the job site daily, communicated well, and always listened to any suggestion we had. We were told it would be about a 6 week project and it was. If the workers were going to come before 8:00 a.m. we were always notified and asked if that would be alright. The remodel of our first floor was a pleasant experience, and if we ever have another remodel job we will hire WADE Design and Construction. **Comment from Wade Design & Construction Inc:** > Thank you for the kind words. We really appreciate the opportunity to work with you on your beautiful home. We really enjoyed making your home what you had been dreaming of. Please let us know if you need any adjustments or have any questions. We would be happy to assist you in any way. Thanks again for everything! **★★★★★ — Mary Ann Cavanaugh, Dec. 2015** > Mike and Kristin and their crack team of contractors delivered a tall order for us. The project was extensive and included a whole-house remodel consisting of removing walls, opening and improving the 1st floor plan, a new state-of-the-art kitchen, remodeling 2.5 baths, an expanded laundry/mudroom, creating a "wall of windows" family room connected to a new knock-out beamed screen porch overlooking the ponds and turning the 2 car garage into 3.5+ car garage/workshop. > > Mike also added a first floor master bedroom / ensuite bathroom addition (also overlooking pond wildlife) cleverly designed to easily accommodate our 83 year old widowed parent's current and expected future care needs. > > All was beautifully and thoughtfully done. Our (now 5 bedroom) home's traditional facade belies the new interior high tech bells and whistles. We recently opened our home for a holiday party and our guests put it best by saying the home was "cozy and open at the same time and a great place for a party!" **★★★★★ — lexispencer, Nov. 2015** > We received a sunroom remodel by Wade Design and Construction. The Wade staff is professional as well as knowledgeable and friendly! The project was completed in a timely manner and within the budget we talked about. When we needed ideas about different aspects of the room, they were very helpful with options for us to consider. Home remodeling/construction can be a stressful time for a family but Wade Design and Construction made it as simple and easy as possible!

Our initial consultation with owner, Mike Wade, instilled in us the confidence that he was proficient and experienced in all areas: design, construction, project budget and meeting deadlines. After demo and during the construction, our decision to contract with Wade Design & Construction was confirmed by Mike and Kristin's quality of work, attentiveness, cleanliness and quick responses to any questions. Their patience extended in the midst of working around our busy, large family endeared them as friends--in our book! Importantly, we are very pleased with the end result of our remodel and the fact that the scope of work stayed within budget. We look forward to using Wade Design & Construction again soon for another project. **★★★★★ — nancylp, Sept. 2014** > We hired Wade Design and Construction to remodel our kitchen and master bathroom in our very old farm house.

I Will defiantly use Wade Design on up coming remodels. **★★★★★ — sockett710, Nov. 2012** > We did a complete remodel on a 1970's era ranch and transformed the property into an open and inviting home that we truly love and enjoy. We lived in the home prior to the start of the remodel so we were able to grasp a feel in the house. Mike was able to remove walls that were confining and open up the living area of the home, which is where we spend most of our time. He eliminated doors, walls, soffits, etc. to complement the overall flow in the house. We also worked together to make the property low maintainance and functional space. Once the plans were done, the work continued smoothly, as there were very few, but minor, changes. With the project that we took on, the overall construction went very well, with very few interuptions. We were very pleased. **★★★★★ — bsiebert, Aug. 2012** > Wade Design & Construction did a total remodel of our master bedroom and kitchen. The design was extremely creative and greatly enlarged our useful space. The construction and follow through were top rate - giving us daily updates as to what would happen the next day! They set a time line and met it! Wade Design & Construction has enormous capabilities and I would recommend them to anyone in need of a high quality design-build firm. ## Selected projects - [The Artisan Walnut Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-artisan-walnut-kitchen-pj-vj~7767395) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Holly Road Natural Escape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/holly-road-natural-escape-pj-vj~7769654) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Refined Chef’s Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/refined-chefs-kitchen-pj-vj~7769674) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Americana Whole House Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/americana-whole-house-remodel-pj-vj~7777834) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 35 - [Thrush Lane Primary Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/thrush-lane-primary-bathroom-pj-vj~7777955) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Lamplighter Lane Kitchen & Wet Bar](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lamplighter-lane-kitchen-and-wet-bar-pj-vj~7778074) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [1925 Timeless Bathroom Transformation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/1925-timeless-bathroom-transformation-pj-vj~7778096) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Bonniwell Whole Home Transformation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bonniwell-whole-home-transformation-pj-vj~7778127) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 53 - [Pawnee Drive Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pawnee-drive-bathrooms-pj-vj~7778200) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Spa-Inspired Primary Bathroom & Powder Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spa-inspired-primary-bathroom-and-powder-room-pj-vj~7778202) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Master bedroom addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bedroom-addition-pj-vj~6359014) - Location: Mequon, WI - Photos: 1 - [Family Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/family-rooms-pj-vj~27868) - Location: Cedarburg, WI - Photos: 6 - [Home Office and Fun Details](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-office-and-fun-details-pj-vj~382971) - Location: Mequon, WI - Photos: 17 - [Porches](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/porches-pj-vj~27870) - Location: Mequon, WI - Photos: 15 - [Additions](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/additions-pj-vj~6773142) - Location: Mequon, WI - Photos: 5 - [River Road Woodlands Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-road-woodlands-kitchen-pj-vj~7767391) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Mudrooms and Lockers](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mudrooms-and-lockers-pj-vj~449388) - Location: Whitefish Bay, WI - Photos: 3 - [Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathrooms-pj-vj~27572) - Location: Mequon, WI - Photos: 51 - Description: white subway tile - [Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchens-pj-vj~27867) - Location: Mequon, WI - Photos: 63 - [Whole House Remodels](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/whole-house-remodels-pj-vj~27871) - Location: Mequon, WI - Photos: 5 [See all 31 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/wade-design-and-construction-inc-pfvwus-pf~1006719237) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Do you manage permitting and approvals?** As a design-build firm, we handle all aspects of your project, including comprehensive project management.

This tile backsplash is from The Tile Shop: Verano White Ceramic 4x12 Grout: Fossil. **Q: Love the dark granite!** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me what edge is used on the dark granite counter? Is it half bullnose? A: The edge in the granite (at least according to the old paperwork!) was called "top round", which is a ½" radius on the top edge, so not quite a half-bullnose. **Q: what is the color and wood of these cabinets?** *(in Photo Questions)* Trying to find cabinets to match these and having some trouble. What’s the color and wood of these? A: Those cabinets are walnut. I think they had a stain applied (but it may have been a clear oil stain) and they also have a clear catalyzed conversion varnish. **Q: Countertop** *(in Photo Questions)* Beautiful. Can you tell me what the countertop material is? A: Hi There, That is a granite counter top, the selection was "Steel Grey Suede". It is not a polished stone, but has a brushed, uneven, soft finish that is not very reflective and has a nice feel to it. It is a very different look than the same material polished. We have done several projects with this type of stone finish and have seen it gain in popularity recently. **Q: What are those lights?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Those were selected by the interior designer. They right color was not available from that company, so she had them custom painted to match the Brizzo Lux Gold finish. I am not sure of the manufacturer. **Q: Could you please share what tile was used for the backsplash?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: I think that was a 4x4 tumbled marble. There are several different color ranges available. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-23.*
